EU Commission vows to react firmly and immediately to Trump’s tariffs
BRUSSELS — The European Union’s executive branch on Friday vowed to “take firm and immediate action” against U.S. President Donald Trump’s imposition of tariffs on steel and aluminum.
“The EU will take firm and immediate action against unjustified barriers to free and fair trade, including when tariffs are used to challenge legitimate and non-discriminatory policies,” the Commission said. “The EU will always protect European businesses, workers and consumers from unjustified tariff measures.”
“Tariffs are taxes. By imposing tariffs, the US is taxing its own citizens, raising costs for business, stifling growth and fuelling inflation,” it said. “Tariffs heighten economic uncertainty and disrupt the efficiency and integration of global markets.”It is not yet clear what countermeasures would apply. Trump slapped similar tariffs on EU steel and aluminum during his first term, which enraged European and other allies.
